Hi
Check out www.briggsoft.com
and download a program called File Maven (it's free!), it's a DOS program
designed to copy from one PC to Another
It includes pinouts to make leads, parallel leads would be faster than
serial. I just found it the other day as I want to do exactly what you are
doing :)
